Material and quality in 1.69

[Uranos]

Hi

1.69 has added 2 new properties that can be added on items: material and quality. Two specific values for material that I'm interested are "silver" and "cold iron". I would like to make special weapons with this parameter so that they are the only weapons that can deal phisical damage to specific monsters (silver - ghosts/wraiths/spectre; cold iron - demons and few outsiders). Any weapons without these properties are to deal 0 phisical dmg against those creatures even if a weapon is +20 (energy and elemental damage will apply though).

At first there was an idea to set dmg reduction at 50/+6 and giving silver and cold iron weapons a +6 attack bonus (normal weapons have max +5 - with spells), but it doesn't fix the issue with Arcane Archer - which is intended that he used silver/cold iron arrows as well to do any harm)

I would appreciate some help on solving the above matter.

Please note that I am a beginner with nwnx though I do use C/C++.

Many thanks for your support

Its just a thought, but perhaps the nwn_events plugin might be the way to work on this?


It has, I believe, an Attack event, which you can hook onto.


It might be possible to perform your own verification within the Attack hook, so you can verify the weapon being used for the attack, and depending on whats being used, either negate the damage, or increase it etc.


Just a guess though.

So, by "not possible" you mean "not optimal".

Why don't You add OnHitItem* property to theese weapons? Then make script which deals damage to creature if creature and weapon meets specific criteria. Then make damage reduction for creature.

Of course, this solution have some weakneses, but it should work.
